SY40FM SKF 40mm Two Bolt Pillow Block Bearing Unit
Support a 40 mm shaft with the SKF SY 40 FM, a bearing unit that combines a cast iron pillow block housing with a YET 208 insert ball bearing. Its two-bolt base fixes directly to a support surface, making it a practical choice for conveyors, material handling equipment and general industrial machinery.
The bearing has a narrow inner ring and uses an eccentric locking collar to secure it to the shaft. Intended for applications with a constant direction of rotation, the unit is supplied assembled, greased and ready to mount. Contact seals on both sides help protect the bearing from contamination and retain lubricant.
With a shaft centre height of 49.2 mm and an overall housing length of 175 mm, the SY 40 FM provides a compact support arrangement. Elongated mounting holes allow adjustment during installation, while a grease fitting enables relubrication during maintenance.
